Abstract

One embodiment provides a method, including: receiving, at an information handling device, voice data from a user; generating a transcription record comprising the voice data; transmitting the voice data to at least one other device; receiving, from the at least one other device, another transcription record, generated by the at least one other device, associated with the transmitted voice data; identifying, by comparing the transcription record and the another transcription record, at least one difference between the transcription record and the another transcription record; and providing, responsive to identifying a difference, a notification. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, at an information handling device, voice data from a user;

generating a transcription record comprising the voice data;

transmitting the voice data to at least one other device;

receiving, from the at least one other device, another transcription record generated by the at least one other device from the transmitted voice data, wherein the generation of the another transcription record comprises;

outputting, using an output device operatively coupled to the at least one other device, the transmitted voice data; and

receiving, at an input device of the at least one other device, the output transmitted voice data;

identifying, by comparing the transcription record and the another transcription record, at least one difference between the transcription record and the another transcription record; and

providing, responsive to identifying a difference, a notification.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the providing comprises providing the notification after a predetermined number of differences have been identified.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the providing comprises providing the notification in substantially real-time.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the providing comprises providing the notification using at least one of the information handling device and the at least one other device.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the notification comprises at least one of an audible notification and a visual notification.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the notification is associated with the visual notification and wherein the providing the visual notification comprises visually distinguishing the at least one difference.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the generating comprises continuously generating the transcription record.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one other device comprises a plurality of other devices.

9. The method of claim 1, further comprising updating the another transcription record to match the transcription record.

10. An information handling device, comprising:

a processor;

a memory device that stores instructions executable by the processor to;

receive voice data from a user;

generate a transcription record comprising the voice data;

transmit the voice data to at least one other device;

receive, from the at least one other device, another transcription record generated by the at least one other device from the transmitted voice data, wherein the generation of the another transcription record comprises;

outputting, using an output device operatively coupled to the at least one other device, the transmitted voice data; and

receiving, at an input device of the at least one other device, the output transmitted voice data;

identify, by comparing the transcription record and the another transcription record, at least one difference between the transcription record and the second transcription record; and

provide, responsive to identifying a difference, a notification.

11. The information handling device of claim 10, wherein the instructions executable by the processor to provide comprise instructions executable by the processor to provide the notification after a predetermined number of differences have been identified.

12. The information handling device of claim 10, wherein the instructions executable by the processor to provide comprise instructions executable by the processor to provide the notification in substantially real-time.

13. The information handling device of claim 10, wherein the instructions executable by the processor to provide comprise instructions executable by the processor to provide the notification using at least one of the information handling device and the at least one other device.

14. The information handling device of claim 10, wherein the notification comprises at least one of an audible notification and a visual notification.

15. The information handling device of claim 14, wherein the notification is associated with the visual notification and wherein the instructions executable by the processor to provide the visual notification comprise instructions executable by the processor to visually distinguish the at least one difference.

16. The information handling device of claim 10, wherein the instructions executable by the processor to generate comprise instructions executable by the processor to continuously generate the transcription record.

17. The information handling device of claim 10, wherein the instructions are further executable by the processor to update the second transcription record to match the transcription record.

18. A product, comprising:

a storage device that stores code, the code being executable by a processor and comprising;

code that receives voice data from a user;

code that generates a transcription record comprising the voice data;

code that transmits the voice data to at least one other device;

code that receives, from the at least one other device, another transcription record generated by the at least one other device from the transmitted voice data, wherein the generation of the another transcription record comprises;

outputting, using an output device operatively coupled to the at least one other device, the transmitted voice data; and

receiving, at an input device of the at least one other device, the output transmitted voice data;

code that identifies, by comparing the transcription record and the second transcription record, at least one difference between the transcription record and the another transcription record; and

code that provides, responsive to identifying a difference, a notification.
